Bitumen Extractor Electrically Operated

About Bitumen Extractor Electrically Operated

Bitumen Extractor Electrically Operated is a precision laboratory instrument used for determining the percentage of bitumen in bituminous paving mixtures and road samples. The test is carried out by dissolving bitumen in a solvent and separating it from aggregates through centrifugal action.

The apparatus consists of a removable aluminum rotor bowl, cylindrical housing, vertical shaft, and electric motor drive system. The electrically operated model is equipped with a variable speed control mechanism, enabling smooth operation within a standard speed range of 24003600 RPM for accurate extraction.

This equipment is widely used in civil engineering laboratories, highway construction projects, and quality control labs for asphalt mix analysis.

Working Principle

The bituminous sample is mixed with a solvent and placed in the rotor bowl. When the machine rotates at high speed, the bitumen dissolves and is separated from aggregates by centrifugal force, and the extracted solution is collected for analysis.
